Scholar and old attack

"From now on, Lin Tianlu will be dismissed from his post, and Jiang Jingyuan, the right servant of the household department, will be diligent in government and love the people, think for the people, worry about the country, and be promoted to the secretary of the household department."

The Son of Heaven looked at Lin Tianlu coldly, thinking that his daughter gave birth to a smart princess for him, and he had served the court for many years, and he kept a little bit of sympathy despite his hard work and hard work.

Lin Tianlu's face turned pale in an instant. From the first day he was an official, he knew that being with the king was like a tiger, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly.

The officialdom is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will be squeezed out by the people below. It is because he is careless and his skills are not as good as others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Although Lin Tianlu was unwilling, he also knew that the emperor still left him a fig leaf. If the trouble continued, the emperor would not mind turning this fig leaf into his shroud.

Lin Tianlu lost his soul, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked again. How old is Jiang Jingyuan?

A doll in her early twenties who has not even grown hair is now sitting on the official position of the second rank. It has never been heard or seen since ancient times!

What's frightening is that none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could say no to it. Jiang Jingyuan achieved what their entire court could not do by himself.

It also brought a huge profit to the court, which is a great achievement, let alone a second-rank minister, even a first-rank prime minister is worthy of the position.

The left and right prime ministers looked at each other again, each of them felt that their buttocks were cold, and they always felt that their sitting positions were extremely unstable.

If it wasn't for Jiang Jingyuan being too young, he might have skipped the second-rank position today and be promoted to first-rank.

When the letter of summons was sent back to Niuyang City, Jiang Jingyuan was trading with Qimu Dezaza.

A sack of salt was placed in front of Qi Mude, like a hill, and he was so happy that he rubbed his hands together.

This time he brought the salt back, and the Great Khan would reward him with many good things. Now he is the most popular adult on the grassland.

"Thank you Master Jiang for your straightforwardness."

Qi Mude actually disdained Jiang Jingyuan in his heart, but he did an excellent job on the surface.

Jiang Jingyuan looked at the cows and sheep coming to deliver milk in groups behind Qi Mude, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Goat milk that costs nothing can be exchanged for salt, and salt can be directly exchanged for copper coins in the cattle and sheep city. With money, you can buy the daily necessities of grassland people, and you don't have to bother to rob or kill.

When the grassland people got used to this kind of life of living and working in peace and contentment, who would want to mount a horse and fight and kill.

Jiang Jingyuan has researched that the grassland population is not large, why they are invincible, the reason is that they have nothing, if they lose, they will lose their lives, but if they win, they can get things that they would not dare to enjoy normally.

Relying on this belief, they can be invincible, invincible, and invincible.

But if this belief is gone, what are they left with.

Moreover, all their daily needs are controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Once the grassland wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, the trade of the grassland is cut off, and the people who are used to living and working in peace and contentment are willing to take up their sabers and aim at them to give them a better life. Daming?

Needless to say, civil strife in the grassland is doomed.

It is Jiang Jingyuan's ultimate goal to hold the grassland tightly in the palm of his hand without giving up a single soldier.

Qi Mude looked at Jiang Jingyuan like a fool, and Jiang Jingyuan looked at Qi Mude like an idiot.

This agreement was defined by Jiang Jingyuan as a bald wool agreement.

After signing the agreement, watching buckets of goat milk and cow's milk being moved to an extremely simple milk powder factory built by Jiang Jingyuan's organization and staff, Jiang Jingyuan and Qi Mude's faces were all happy at the same time.

After Qi Mude returned to the grassland, the eunuch who passed the decree came to give Jiang Jingyuan the rice paper. Hearing that he would be promoted, Jiang Jingyuan was also stunned.

"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang for being promoted to the post of Shangshu."

The eunuch who passed the decree is also a person who is used to looking at people's faces. He knows that Jiang Jingyuan is in the capital now. .

It was Xu Shuizhou who reacted quickly, pulled Jiang Jingyuan to let him take the order quickly, and stuffed Jiang Jingyuan with a purse.

Jiang Jingyuan came back to his senses, got up, received the order and handed the money bag in his hand to the eunuch who passed the order.

The eunuch who delivered the decree refused to accept it, so he rushed to Jiang Jingyuan's enthusiasm for holding money. People in the capital now praised Jiang Jingyuan as "God of Wealth", saying that the God of Wealth only has money in, not money out.

If anyone took the money from the God of Wealth, it would cause disaster, so the eunuch who passed the decree said that he would not accept Jiang Jingyuan's bribes.

Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyebrows when he saw that the other party refused to accept the money, and took the money back calmly.

"Master Jiang, hurry up and pack up your things, and return to the capital with our family to resume your job."

Of course, the eunuch who delivered the decree didn't come just for Jiang Jingyuan this time, he also brought another decree.

Summon the 20 troops of the Zhongwu Army to station in the salt lake, and make sure that the salt lake does not fall into the hands of the grassland tribes.

The Zhongwu Army was naturally the army stationed at the frontier led by the Fifth Prince Zhu Xu, so the eunuch ordered the eunuch to finish Jiang Jingyuan's place, and ordered them to ride in the carriage again and head towards the Zhongwu Army.

This time Huang Yu just watched how Jiang Jingyuan fooled the grassland tribes. The process was so wonderful that he kept everyone in the dark. Even if he was misunderstood or not understood, he would ignore it.

Huang Yu admired Mr. Jiang even more. Now that he heard that Jiang Jingyuan was promoted to Minister of the Household Department, he didn't care too much. Mr. Jiang is so high-spirited and unpredictable, even if he is the prime minister!

"Master Jiang, Yu had misunderstood Master Jiang before, so please punish him."

The more Huang Yu thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that it was his honor to be able to get to know Lord Shangshu at the scene, and even the Lord Prime Minister in the future. He blamed himself very much for his misunderstanding of Lord Jiang before.

Jiang Jingyuan looked at Huang Yu in a daze, misunderstood?What misunderstanding?

When he came here, he was very busy every day, and now he was about to leave for home, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

Don't say anything else, just say that the large artificial vacuum machine and dryer are still waiting for him to direct the assembly, how can there be time wasted on misunderstanding with Huang Yu.

He waved his hand indifferently, and went out, followed by Xu Shuizhou, who also had a lot of things to do.

Seeing Mr. Jiang and his wife not paying attention, Huang Yu was so wronged that he twisted his fingers. Could it be that Mr. Jiang didn't take him seriously...

Walking into the simple milk powder factory, although it looks simple on the outside, the inside is extremely tidy, so clean that it is completely different from the outside.

Over there, the two earlier machines are making milk powder day and night, and several truckloads of milk powder have already started to be transported to the capital. Here, Jiang Jingyuan made a super-large version of the vacuum machine and dryer, and adjusted the borders several times. The craftsmen from the whole city came over and hurried to catch up and finally finished everything today.

Just waiting for him to assemble it in the past.

That night, Niuyang City was brightly lit, and many people spontaneously stood outside the milk powder factory with torches to illuminate them.

Finally, at midnight, two super-large artificial pedal-powered vacuum machines and dryers were set up. After an hour of experimentation, they can produce almost [-] kilograms of milk powder.

Compared with the two small vacuum machines brought by Jiang Jingyuan, the efficiency has increased by a hundred times!

The people in Niuyang City cheered unceasingly, because the opening of this milk powder factory is also good for them.

In the future, the excess milk at home will finally be dumped without distress. It can be sold at the milk powder factory. Although the milk powder factory pays with salt, there are small shops in the east, west, north, and south corners of Niuyang City. The salt shop.

A catty of salt can be exchanged for [-] Wen, which is still cheaper than the salt in the Central Plains, but they can earn [-] Wen a day without doing anything, which is a considerable amount after a month.

Of course, this salt shop was opened by Jiang Jingyuan. The salt in the capital was sold for 35 yuan a catty, and he collected [-] yuan. He threw away the travel expenses to open a small shop in the capital, selling it for [-] yuan a catty.

Although most of the salt is now in the hands of the government, private salt still exists. As long as the amount does not exceed the amount stipulated by the government, no one cares about it.

After helping the court make money again and again, it's time for him to reap some interest.

Jiang Jingyuan prided himself that he was not a holy father, he only wanted to serve the country, why not make some money if he could make some money within the rules.

Qi Mude happily returned to the grassland tribe with a few carriages of salt, and what he received was not the reward of the Great Khan, but the anger of the Great Khan.

Because Da Khan had already received a secret letter from his spies in the capital at this time, that there was a salt lake in the wasteland that Jiang Jingyuan wanted, and there were countless salts!

Enough salt for grassland people to eat for a lifetime!

If there was fire in Da Khan's heart, he just gave up the salt for nothing, and the terrible thing was that he had to exchange it with goat milk from the tribe.

What's even more frightening is that he was still complacent before!

All of this is thanks to the idiot Qimu Dezaza. If it weren't for his stupidity, the grassland would not have suffered such a great loss.

Qimu Dezaza has not been happy for a month, not only all the things that the Great Khan rewarded him have been taken back by the Great Khan.

Even his human head fell off from his head, and the blood stained the grassland red.

Not only did no one sympathize with him, but the people in the grassland even spat on his body and threw stones.

After solving Qimu Dezaza, Prairie Khan didn't want his own salt lake to fall into the hands of the Ming people. He wanted to organize people to snatch it back, but found that the 20 loyal army of Ming Dynasty was stationed under the salt lake. It was too late to regret.

After going back, he dug out Qimu Dezaza's body and flogged it. He still couldn't let go of his hatred, and even chopped up his body and fed it to the pet of the sweat, a falcon.

Jiang Jingyuan only received this news after he returned to Daming, and he felt a little regretful about it. He was obviously an idiot who was very good at fooling around, so why did he die.

He also looked forward to seeing this scum again in the future, picking up a few handfuls of prairie wool, but unfortunately this time he plucked it a little bit hard, and directly bald, causing this scum who was loyal to the grassland to be directly sweated by them. Killed.

After returning to the capital, Jiang Jingyuan received a new official uniform, of course it was still a scarlet official uniform, but changed from a third-rank loose flower to a second-rank small Duke flower, and the belt around his waist had also changed to a jade ornament. Get people more and more spirit, noble.

"Master, young master, young husband, there are people outside the door who brought some eggs and vegetables, which can't be piled up in the kitchen, and can't be eaten in the house. How can this be good."

Ever since the emperor announced Jiang Jingyuan's achievements, the common people who used to throw vegetable leaves and mud in front of Gu's mansion were so guilty that they came to atone for their sins with vegetables or eggs.

Jiang Jingyuan was talking to Gu Renhuai, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. After going to the grassland and returning home, he became a good official praised by everyone.

"Send some people to some lonely old people and unaccompanied children in the suburbs of Beijing."

Gu Renhuai didn't care about this matter. Being an official is like this. You can receive the goodwill of the people and the malice from the people. As long as you have a clear conscience, don't worry about it.

"Teacher, there is one more thing I want to discuss with the teacher when I come here this time. I have bothered you for a long time at the teacher's residence. Now that Jing Yuan is the position of minister, it is not appropriate to live in the teacher's residence."

Jiang Jingyuan spoke resentfully, worried that he would be scolded by his teacher, and he would forget his master when he was promoted.

Gu Renhuai was quite open about it. Jiang Jingyuan is now a second-rank official, and when he should have his own mansion, if he doesn't bring it up, he will want to chase him away.

"Go, I'm in the capital, I'm afraid I won't succeed if I don't see him."

Gu Renhuai shook his hand cleanly.

"Aunt Zhang, Yangcheng milk powder is sold on official uniforms. Your daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby. Hurry up and grab two cans, or they will be gone later."

"Master, hurry up and take the money to buy milk powder at the gate of the government office. The Yangcheng milk powder is on sale today."

"Second, third, go to the government office to buy milk powder. There are four or five children waiting to drink."

In August, Yangcheng milk powder was officially sold in various state capitals. Because the machines are still being produced, the current output is not very large, so the family can only register to buy one can a month, and release it for sale when the output increases later.

As soon as the milk powder comes out, it is the gospel of the whole world. Many poor families who are short of milk are waiting to buy a can of milk powder for their children.

Especially those who married their elder brother and gave birth to a child were pleasantly surprised.

Ordinary people like this usually save money to buy sheep for milking, but at least one sheep costs about two taels of silver, and ordinary people have to save for a year or so to have it.

The poorer families can't afford it at all, so they can only feed some rice soup and rice paste.

It’s different now that I have milk powder. It’s only [-] cents per can. I heard that one can last for a month.

The government office not only sells milk powder, but also teaches these milk powder buyers how to make milk powder, and they can't keep feeding their children just because milk powder is cheap.

They were not allowed to leave with formula until after church.

On the outskirts of the city, in a thatched hut, lay a brother who had just given birth, looking at the dying child beside him with a dead face.

He hated himself for not being a woman, because he couldn't squeeze milk out of his chest, but this child couldn't eat rice soup, and would vomit whenever he ate it, so he could only drink milk.

But the sisters-in-law in the village are unwilling to feed his children anymore, and their children also need to drink milk. If this is given to their own children, their children will have no milk to drink.

He walked through several villages today but still didn't get a sip of milk for his child. Could it be that his child had to just go there.

If the child is gone, there is no point in his life.

Seeing the child's gradually declining aura, the light in his eyes became darker and darker.

"Fulang, Fulang, look what I brought back."

At this moment, his husband happily rushed in from the door.

In the past at this time, he would definitely welcome him with a happy face, but now he didn't move, his palms were so cold that there was no warmth at all, and he just looked at his child with ashamed heart.

"Fulang, Fulang, I brought back milk powder, the milk powder of the imperial court is sold! Our child is saved!"

At this moment, his husband didn't care about the fact that his husband didn't greet him with a smile today, he just explained the matter excitedly.

"What did you say? Milk powder!"

Originally, his heart was ashamed, but when he heard her husband's words, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed his husband's collar and asked eagerly, "Where is the milk powder?"

His husband was uncomfortable being caught by him. He carefully took out an ordinary wooden barrel from his arms and said happily, "This is the milk powder sold by the imperial court. I learned how to make milk powder in the government office. I'm going to give it to the child." Rush away."

Open the wooden barrel, take out the milk powder packaged in oiled paper, tear open a hole, and see a small spoon for scooping up milk powder inside, which matches the small bowl placed in the wooden barrel.

"Our child is less than one month old, and the yamen servant said that we only need to scoop out such a flat spoon for one meal. If we want to drink it with water that has been boiled and left for a while, we only need to wash the lowest level of water in this bowl."

He wrote down what his husband said without blinking his eyes, and when the water in the bowl cooled a little, the couple took the milk to feed the child.

Seeing that the child was eating faster and faster, and there was no sign of vomiting at all, the couple finally showed a smile, and they were very grateful to the court in their hearts.

This scene happened not only in the capital, but also in all parts of the country.

And the capital is not only because the milk powder is boiling, but also many strange shops pop up for no reason.

"Yuanzhou Milk Tea Shop opens today, buy a cup and get a free cup, and the first cup is free to taste."

At this moment, there are children in the streets and alleys of the capital holding a piece of exquisite milk tea shop promotional paper in their hands, saying such a sentence in their mouths.

They were uniformly dressed in white clothes and black trousers, with a conspicuous red diagonal banner embroidered with Yuanzhou milk tea with yellow silk thread on their shoulders.

It caused pedestrians on the street to look sideways, wanting to see what this Yuanzhou milk tea was.

Those who could not read asked the children of Yuanzhou Milk Tea, and those who could read took a piece of promotional paper and studied it by themselves, and those who were interested would go to the address advertised on it.

Yuanzhou Milk Tea Shop is located on the busiest street in the east of the capital city. The whole decoration style is incompatible with the ancient buildings next to it.

The bright yellow signboard is very conspicuous, all the doors are open, and the passers-by don't mind looking at it at all, so a black high bar is set up near the door of the shop, and it is responsible for ordering milk tea.

The waiters in the shop inside are all uniformly dressed, and when someone enters the door, they will say, "Welcome to visit."

Because Xu Shuizhou wanted to make his store a franchise store, the whole milk tea shop took up a place as big as a restaurant, not only on the first floor, but also on the second floor.

He remembered that the milk tea shop that Jiang Jingyuan had described not only made pearl milk tea, but also made various flavors, not only milk tea, he also made fried chicken.

So now the whole shop is extremely lively, everyone listened to the person who called himself a waiter introduce them, fried chicken legs, fried chicken breasts, fried chicken wings, as well as orange juice, pearl milk tea, and peanut milk tea.

I don’t seem to have heard of it before, so I asked about the price, a cup of milk tea costs ten cents, the first cup is free, buy one get one free!purchase!

A commemorative pendant of Yuanzhou Milk Tea will also be given to those who spend more than [-] articles. It is a very finely crafted boat with red tassels, which looks very beautiful when hung around the waist.

Buy and buy!

Not to mention that drinking milk tea and eating fried chicken tastes pretty good. After the final settlement, it only cost [-] Wen, and my stomach is already full, and I need to spend another [-] Wen to get one. Boat pendant.

Let’s buy another cup of milk tea. Buy one get one free, and you can take it home with you. At the end, a wooden sign engraved with the word Yuanzhou is given as a gift. As long as you collect enough six cards, you can get a cup for free.

Some people didn't believe that the store could really give it away for free, so they stood outside the store and bought a wooden sign for a penny. After collecting six yuan, they really got a cup for free.

The people who were bought to go to Mupai regretted it, and they can get a cup of milk tea for free after five more visits!

The east of the city is so lively, and the vegetable market in the west of the city is not peaceful. Early this morning, I saw a very unusual grocery store open at the entrance of the vegetable market.

This grocery store is frighteningly large, not to mention all the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar inside, and the sign at the door says that the store is opening today, and the salt promotion price is 35 renminbi a catty!

What, salt is only 35 Wen a catty?

It's five cents cheaper than the government!This is cheap and not in vain!

As a result, people in charge of shopping from various governments, and people in charge of buying vegetables from various households poured into the shop one after another, and the shop was crowded with people all at once.

Xu Shuizhou returned home in the evening, although he was exhausted, but his spirit was incomparably good. Thinking of the money coming in at the counter today, he was so excited that he wanted to sit down and count the money.

Only he and Jiang Jingyuan knew that no matter whether it was milk tea or fried chicken, it didn't cost much. The only thing that cost money was this store. If they didn't have the money to buy it, they would rent it first.

"How much did you earn over there? My shop earned 60 taels of silver."

Jiang Jingyuan also went home to help settle the accounts after he left the job, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he earned 60 taels of silver a day.

His shop did not advertise as much as Xu Shuizhou did. Instead, he opened the shop in a low-key way, and there was no traffic except for people passing by to buy vegetables.

He is very satisfied with this benefit.

"My net profit is almost 200 taels. This is thanks to the fact that the milk tea doesn't cost much and the publicity is in place."

Xu Shuizhou couldn't help sighing when he settled the accounts. The combined net profit of him and A Yuan was almost 300 taels of silver a day. I'm afraid no one would believe it if he told it.

"By the way, when will you send people to the newspaper office? My newspaper office has been renovated for several months, and it's a waste to leave it there."

However, Xu Shuizhou was not happy for more than a quarter of an hour, and he began to frown again, and continued thinking, "Do you know how much it costs to rent this house a month, 300 taels a month, and I have to buy some servants for you. A servant costs five From two to 20 taels, how can you have hundreds of servants in your family, this is money again!"

As Xu Shuizhou talked, he became angry, why do officials spend so much money, buying a house requires money, buying people requires money, and hiring people to drink and do errands also requires money.

pissed him off!

"Tomorrow I'll send out a letter, big challenge! There's no rush to buy someone."

With some income at home, Jiang Jingyuan relaxed a little, and began to prepare for the newspaper office.

The big selection means that the Ming Dynasty elected Juren to be officials, that is, when the imperial court could not find a Jinshi, it would conduct a big selection, and all the candidates who were not admitted to the Jinshi were selected.

Jiang Jingyuan planned to redesign a newspaper officer with a seventh to ninth grade under the household department, and asked Juren to be a reporter. I believe that with their writing skills, the articles they wrote would not be too bad.

Xu Shuizhou frowned, "Da Tiao, are you going to turn the newspaper office into a government office? Does the newspaper office belong to our family? Isn't my work in vain?"

Just about to wait for Jiang Jingyuan's explanation, Chen Xiuxiu exclaimed from outside the door, "Sister Yuzhu, you have to calm down!"

"It happened!"

Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou glanced at each other, and stood up from their chairs. They deliberately kept things about He Yuzhu and Xu's family a secret when they came back from the frontier, thinking that she didn't usually go out, and no one at home would tell her these things until they were busy. After a while, I will clean up the Xu family.

But the opening was too busy today, and He Yuzhu also wanted to watch the fun, so maybe he went out and heard something!

The author has something to say: I forgot to pick up a typo, ahhhhhh, really stupid
